What are the odds this will happen ? Stern seems pretty cozy with Disney. Better start saving now, it's tough being a Star Wars nerd !!! It's pretty funny seeing peoples faces when they go into the "Star Wars" movie room in the basement. I had my high school hockey team I was coaching over and they were all stunned that a fiercely competitive hockey coach would be a SW nerd at heart.........they all skated suicides for mocking me :0
Odds are pretty high. New SW movie in 2015, followed by 2 others in the trilogy, as well as studio confirmed one-off films of popular characters. Data East produced SW in the 90s, and there was Ep 1 alongside RFM.
The Magic Eight Ball says be patient, but it's probably coming.
EDIT
I forgot Sega's SWT and that weird Empire Strikes Back game that exists only in the realm of legend and eBay.
Especially with the Zen Pinball guys doing a bunch of virtual tables, I'd say the odds are pretty good...

Quoted from ChadTower:Now why you gotta coach the Mites like that? No 5 year old ever benefitted from neutral zone push ups!
Funny you should say that, I now coach my son's team, which is a mite team !!!! My wife warned me to be nothing like I was with the high schoolers. When a 7 year old makes a mistake, I find it funny. When my high schoolers made a mistake, I felt like I was stroking out. GOOD TIMES !!

Another PA Star Wars nerd. Nice to meet you!
I'd say the probability is pretty high. Hopefully Steve and Lyman are still on the payroll and get the job if/when it happens.
I really hope so, I just hope it is not stern who buys the rights. Hopefully JJP will take the opportunity to make a great pin with an awesome theme.

I wouldn't mind Borg doing it. I have talked to him about my SWDE I have, still his favorite game he ever designed. That would be a neat "full circle" concept for him, super nice guy !!
I managed to turn my 7 year old into a SW nerd as well. We went to Fla. last year and hit the Star Tours, I highly recommend it to all. He was like a crack head when we spilled out into the Star Wars only gift shop. My wife took a picture of him with that 50 yard stare thing going on, funny as hell.
Looks like Altoona is about the same distance to the Ohio show as Erie is, ever take that in?

Only problem is that it would be 2 years late to my door 
Disney and Stern combination brough us one of the best pin ever : Tron. Now lets be honest and compare Tron to Star Wars. Impossible. Star wars is way to deep and been going for more than 30 years. A multi generation product. Would be an awesome combination and marketing move to sell pins and bring all these generations together to the silver ball world. And think about pros and LE versions. Die hard Star wars fans like me are crazy about limited collectible Star Wars stuff. Very excited since George finally passed the torch to more creative minds not tied into prequels and have at last the freedom to continue the story. Now just give it to Steve and Lyman for an awesome product, tons of code updates and you have my money.
Ok, Ghostbusters has finally hit and it looks great.
You knew this topic would come back at some point so lets let it rip.
What are your thoughts.
Will it come out this year?
Will it be based on just The Force Awakens?
Will there be a Jar Jar Binks topper available?
My thought is that a Star Wars pin release coinciding with the movies would have as good a chance at success as any other theme we have seen recently, and could be one of the all-time greats if done exceptionally well. (I'm assuming Stern would be the one to build it, based upon history and licensing realities.)
I would not expect it this year My guess is that they will wait until they get their LCDs (and any other new goodies they might be working on) fully baked and might want to incorporate stuff from the upcoming films before releasing this title (doubt the market could absorb a game for each movie).
I'd like to see Borg do it as well, seems only right. Borg is not the same designer like his Data East days and this is a good thing.
I guess we're going to have to watch for the leaked photos like Ghostbusters was
Having said that, Stern, please don't release it right after Ghostbusters. This is my first premium I have ever ordered and I need time to recoup.
